CIÉ and Bus Éireann have expressed serious concerns about Galway Corporation's £2.5 million plan to transform Eyre Square, and about the impact of new traffic systems on public transport in the city. Bus Éireann has said the proposed changes - which were approved by the city council last year - would "do nothing to encourage or promote the use of public transport" in the city. Instead, they would cause further congestion around Eyre Square, according to correspondence obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
